Wellerman

Wellerman - Sea Shanty

Lyrics by：Addy van der Zwan/Mark Nieuwenhuijzen/Robin Snijder

There once was a ship that put to sea

The name of the ship was the Billy of tea

The winds blew up her bow dipped down

Oh blow my bully boys blow huh

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He'd take that whale in tow

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He'd take that whale in tow

Before the boat had hit the water

The whale's tail came up and caught her

All hands to the side harpooned and fought her

When she dived down below

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come

One day when the tonguing is done

Soon may the Wellerman come

One day when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go
